Yes, the torque curve is great, but if it dulls the experience...

The Supra can weigh over 1,500 kgs.... The S15, about 1,250.

Your comment about chuckability is my main reason for rating the S15 higher. A car should be fun to drive. I am not saying the Supra is not fun to drive, I just think for an everyday/occasional track car, the S15 fits the bill very nicely. If I were to build a dedicated track car, had the same choice and a big budget, I would build a Supra without a doubt.


I agree. I had a decision once: I could buy a JZA80 but I'd have to sell my car.
I couldn't do it, 'coz I'd miss throuing my car around too much.
You just can't do that with a JZA80 unless you were on a track. It's just not the sort of car you can throw around without browning your pants... Smile

But still, saying that. I've had a time when I had to make a decision whether to buy an S15 once too and decided against it 'coz I couldn't stand the knowledge that it had such an old engine (in terms of design) in it. Sad

Both cars have their bad points. The one thing in favour of the JZA80 is that you have the knowledge that you can rip everything out of it to make it lighter.... Now *that* would be uber-cool... Smile
